Wide receiver Keenan Allen may not be available for the Chargers’ Week 14 home game against the Giants.

Field Yates of ESPN reports that Allen has been placed on the COVID-19 reserve list.

If Allen is vaccinated, he will be able to return after two negative tests taken 24 hours apart or after a 10-day isolation period. If unvaccinated, he’s out for 10 days for a positive test or five days if he’s a close contact to someone who tested positive.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has been placed on the reserve/COVID list.

There is no word yet on if Allen was a close contact, or contracted the virus himself, but either way, his season is officially over. Allen finishes the season as the WR13 in total fantasy points, and the WR14 in fantasy points per game. Mike Williams, Tyron Johnson, and Jalen Guyton should all see an increase in snaps with Allen sidelined. Williams is currently our 36th ranked receiver for Week 17, Johnson is our 39th.

The Chargers are expected to hold wide receiver Keenan Allen out of their season finale Sunday against the Chiefs as he recovers from a lingering hamstring issue.

The Chargers have nothing to play for save draft position in Week 17 so it makes sense to hold Allen out and ensure he can fully recover from the hamstring issue that's bothered him for several weeks now. Allen was a bankable WR1 with Justin Herbert under center and should be drafted as such in 2021.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 16 against the Broncos.

Allen played last week, but saw just 24 snaps. The Chargers are going to let Allen recover. No reason to rush him with the Chargers at 5-9. There’s a chance he’ll be out there for the season finale against the Chiefs.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, according to Gilbert Manzano of the OC Register.

Allen was going to be an iffy play because of the hammy. He labored through a TNF win Week 15, and appears to be set to do the same Week 16.

Los Angeles Chargers superstar wide receiver Keenan Allen will be a game time decision for Week 16's contest against the Denver Broncos.

Allen has played in 62 straight contests, so the Chargers will give him every opportunity to prove that he can contribute for Week 16 before ruling him out. Allen stated that the games played streak was on his mind when he was pushing to play against the Raiders. He felt the hamstring tighten up and watched the majority of the game from the sidelines. Fantasy managers should have their contingency options ready but can afford to be cautiously optimistic. Keenan is our 21st ranked wide receiver for finals week.
